Chapter 540: Clarify your thoughts
"Brother Yuan, have you got the Imperial Lightning Pearl?"
When Lu Yuan arrived a hundred feet away, Shi Xiao asked from a distance, while Shi Die took a guarded stance.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan didn't care much. After stopping, a light flashed in his hand, and a dark blue round bead with a dim spiritual light appeared. It was the natal treasure of Niu Yin.
"I got the Lightning Orb, but unfortunately the power of the true lightning inside has long been consumed."
"Brother Yuan, is this the powerful magical power that you said before that could deal with Shi Man?" Shi Die couldn't help but ask anxiously when she saw that the Thunder Control Pearl was indeed as Lu Yuan said, without any real thunder power.
Because Lu Yuan had said before that in order to deal with Shi Man's magical power, a large amount of true thunder power must be used.
“Of course it cannot be used. Moreover, this Lightning Orb is really as the rumors say. Once it is recognized and refined by its master, it can no longer be used by outsiders. So now it has become a useless thing.” As Lu Yuan spoke, he looked at the Lightning Orb in his hand with a slightly regretful expression.
"This..." Shi Die's face immediately became sullen when he heard this, and his eyes were filled with complaints.
"Since Fellow Daoist Yuan already knew this would happen, why didn't he give Fellow Daoist Niu a chance to survive? He has already been defeated by you, and I believe he will definitely be willing to control the Imperial Lightning Pearl to help you!"
"Now that you've killed Fellow Daoist Niu, there are only three of us left. How are we going to deal with Shi Man?"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Shi Die's words, Lu Yuan's face also turned cold, because he was very dissatisfied with Shi Xiao and the others in his heart, so he simply made it clear.
"From what Fellow Daoist Shi said, it seems that it is my fault if I cannot kill Shi Man?"
"Don't forget that the reason why I am in such a deep situation now is because of your invitation. Moreover, since the appearance of Shi Man, it seems that it has always been me and Niu who have come up with ways to deal with Shi Man. Regardless of the result, it is at least better than you two doing nothing."
"I don't believe that you, as the jewel of the clan elders, don't have a few treasures that can defeat the enemy."
Lu Yuan's blunt words immediately left Shi Die speechless and she didn't know what to say.
But Lu Yuan still refused to give in and spoke to Shi Xiao again.
"Brother Shi, if I'm not mistaken, you want to borrow my or Niu Yin's magical powers to get rid of Shi Man. That way, even if the Shi Mo Clan tracks you down, it will be difficult for them to find you. Otherwise, if the four of us had used all our abilities at the beginning, we wouldn't have ended up in such a passive position now."
"Uh..." Shi Xiao's expression suddenly became unnatural when he heard that, and it was obvious that Lu Yuan had hit the nail on the head.
Shi Man holds a very important position in the Stone Demon Clan, and it is certain that he will be promoted to Demon Lord in the future.
Moreover, his father was the powerful elder of the tribe, so whether from the perspective of his status or the future of the tribe, they were unwilling to fight with Shi Man to the death unless it was absolutely necessary.
Even though Shi Man has forced them into a desperate situation and they must kill him, they should try their best to avoid leaving any traces of themselves, otherwise if they are tracked down by the tribe in the future, their fate will be unimaginable.
"Brother Yuan, you've wronged us. We didn't mean to do that." Shi Xiao's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he quickly explained.
"Hmph, whether it was intentional or not, the three of us are in the same boat this time. If the two of you are still thinking about making it easier for yourself to clear suspicion in the future and are unwilling to use your real means, then don't blame me for finding a way to get out of it myself." After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he stared at Shi Xiao coldly.
"Brother Yuan, you misunderstood. How could we two do this!" After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Shi Xiao smiled bitterly, and then waved his hand and said, "In fact, Sister Die and I did have some tricks that we didn't use, but this was not intentional to protect ourselves, but the chances of success were really slim."
"Yes, I do have a few powerful magic weapons in my hand, but when I use them, I can only exert about 50% of their power with my own magic power alone." Seeing that the situation was a bit stalemate, Shi Die no longer had any intention of complaining.
"That's not right. Your Stone Demon clan is very good at using the power of earth, especially in this holy land. It should not be difficult to mobilize the power of earth here." Lu Yuan heard this and shook his head, somewhat indifferent.
"What Fellow Daoist Yuan said is true, but don't forget that the power of earth attribute is also a kind of heaven and earth energy. Shi Man is far superior to us in realm, and my magic weapons are not as good as the 'Wolf Fang' in his hand in terms of grade. If I compete with him in the ability to mobilize heaven and earth energy, what are my chances of winning?"
Shi Die said this unhappily as he shook his hands and shot out several rays of light that began to swirl around him.
Lu Yuan took a closer look and saw that there were actually powerful magic weapons, including a gorgeous umbrella, a flying shuttle, a shield, a bell, etc.
However, although these magic weapons are all top-notch, the pressure they give Lu Yuan is far less than that of Shi Man's "wolf fang". And most importantly, none of these magic weapons are real offensive magic weapons, they are all defensive treasures that can trap enemies and save lives.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown.
Because it is just as Shi Die said, when there is a fight above the Demon Sect, it is rare to directly call upon the essence of heaven and earth to attack the opponent.
If the enemy is at the same level, you can easily disperse the opponent's gathered heaven and earth energy by relying on the power of realm. After all, dispersing it is much easier than summoning heaven and earth energy.
Even in some cases where the gap in realm is huge, it may happen that the power of heaven and earth that one has gathered with great difficulty can be easily snatched away by the other party to control it, thus the loss outweighs the gain.
Therefore, even if the mobilization of heaven and earth energy occasionally occurs during a fight, it is mostly because one wants to perform some great magical power, but one's own mana is insufficient to support it, or one's own mana is seriously depleted, so one has to mobilize heaven and earth energy to supplement the casting of the spell.
In this situation, either there must be someone to assist, or the magical power or treasure used has the ability to autonomously lock the summoned Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, so as to ensure that the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth cannot be easily snatched away by others.
This is also the reason why Shi Man was not in a hurry to mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth when he first faced the four people.
Although his realm was higher than everyone else, Lu Yuan was only in the middle stage of the Demon Sect after all, and was only one small realm behind him. In addition, with Shi Die, Shi Xiao and Niu Yin assisting him, Shi Man was not absolutely sure.
Lu Yuan was depressed and looked at Shi Xiao again.
"Brother Yuan, don't count on me." Shi Xiao smiled awkwardly at first, then said sincerely: "Fellow Daoist Yuan, don't you still have a replica of the Xuantian Magic Weapon in your hand? Although it is incomplete, it was made by the Holy Ancestor after all."
